Interesting Idea…
This would take a LOT Of testing tho.

Because it’s “unfun”. Bastion’s ult at some point was going to allow him to penetrate walls and they thought about giving Hanzo a piercing arrow when thinking about scatter replacements but that was kind of their reason for changing it.

Oh guys apparently his winrate fell to 36.36% in GM this week again. IDK if private profiles is effecting Overbuff or not though but this trend happened way before private profiles and it has returned to that.
It actually sounds better than “Alert!”
Overclock or Overheat.
I think “Overheat” would give us a visual theme as a bonus.
Usually overclocking something means it’s going to overheat from maximum use.
Point taken.
God dammit blizz. 20 chars!
Has anyone else in here other than Terran and I tested Tank mode as a form for longer than a game? I think it would be useful for people to try it like we did to understand it better.
What do you mean ?

It was a bit difficult because we had to “pretend” to reload XD
Explain.
20 CHARACTERS, DEMMIT
People seem to be very confused about the speed of the projectile, and just how strong it will be, so please test this in a custom game. I want people to truly test it, and see if they can dodge by sight, if they can escape when flanked, and see how they can deal with a sniper Bastion as most of the cast. Tank on E is way more powerful than what everyone here is thinking.
Oh, that ?
Yep. Did for a whole day (bout 14 hours of testing… yep, nothing better to do.)
Haven’t found it to be that bad, tbh. You’ve seen the rework we’re proposing with GrantMan ?
You can’t really spam it that much and with the reduced damage/splash area it’s WAY easier to survive, even dodge completly.
Even with 4m splash, it’s fairly easy to dodge. Easier to survive than a sentry flank.
we went into a custom game with about a 30 second long ult to simulate a tank on E where it didn’t really run out. After 5 shots we had to wait about 2 seconds before we started shooting again but we also tried the weird DF type reload but that was very difficult to test that way.
You’d have to land 2 rockets (or one splash for basically max damage) on a 200 health target to kill it. They’d have to receive 0 healing in the 1 - 2 seconds you take to shoot them. They’d have to NOT hide somewhere when they get hit by a 120 damage rocket.
There’s not really a good way to test it in a custom game, because you can’t just hop in and out of Tank at any time… If you’re playing with just normal heroes, it’s not really the same as in a game. Normally, they’d have a Rein shield to hide behind, or a team to help shoot you before you got 2 rockets off on someone. You could do 500% ult charge and lower the damage, but if you’re not playing with a team that’s actually trying, I don’t think it’s a very valid test as to whether it’s OP or not… Once you take into account that you’re going to have to jump to get a shot off on them, you’ve already used 4 shots (1 to jump, 1 on the target, 1 to jump, 1 on the target) to kill someone. You could just stay on high ground I guess, but you’re still most likely going to have to deal with a shield of some sort.
If it does somehow turn out to be too much at 120 damage, then lower it to 95 or something… That way, you’d have to get 3 entire shots off on someone to kill them.
\/\/ Oh right, that’s probably a good idea \/\/
Can we plaese discuss that in
Please. We’re running out of post in this one and the OP asked for some margin.
Terran and I tested it before, 2 shotting Widow was broken as heck across the map.
You can’t balance things around healing being available, and factoring in that you could hide means that every character should 2-shot every other character because they can hide behind a rein shield… that makes no sense.
Phara is very delicate, but already has the potential to dominate people with slower versions of this, and NO you can’t hide from her if she is decent.
Now just take a few minutes to honestly think about how useful this would be if it DIDN’T 2 shot people… Which is why I am saying OP or Garbage.
Just get a jump ability in recon, why is this a bad idea?

Not really you just weren’t looking while I killed you :3 I believe at one point I rocket jumped onto the roof with you.
She flies
And has a bigger mag. Which reloads faster
